Chapter 334: The General's Mansion is packed with people, all gloomy
At a birthday banquet, many people were frightened and many people were doubtful, but the most upset person was Prime Minister Gao.
Prime Minister Gao lost face today and will be ridiculed by other court officials in the future.
After Xiang Minghou and his entourage left the palace, Luo Wen drove the carriage over and several people got on.
The Zhan family, the Gu family, and the Qian family left the palace and got on the carriages. The coachmen all drove towards the general's mansion.
It was late at night and the streets were sparsely populated. After turning a few streets, we soon arrived at the General's Mansion.
Xiang Minghou carried Ye Qianning out of the car without saying a word and looked very bad.
Ye Qianning knew what his father was thinking. If Prime Minister Gao had plenty of ways to solve the problem of the arranged marriage, it would not be easy for the Crown Prince to get rid of it in the future.
Dean Chen was also worried. He didn't know what the emperor was thinking and why he gave the person to the prince.
"General, Miss." The butler opened the door.
Marquis Xiang Ming and Dean Chen entered one after another, and a group of people with the clatter of horses' hooves also arrived at the general's mansion behind them.
The housekeeper looked at the group of people coming down and didn't know whether to close the door or open it.
"Everyone, allow me to report to my general."
"We are all old acquaintances, what is there to report? Get out of the way." Old Gu pushed the butler aside and walked into the door.
Zhan Yi supported Madam Zhan and entered the room.
Qian Fu and Qian Fan Ji also followed.
Xiang Minghou carried Ye Qianning into the hall and said, "Yingge, carry the young lady back to her room."
Yingge appears.
"Dad, I'm not sleepy yet." Ye Qianning held him tightly.
"Go back to your room first. Dad and the dean have something to say." Xiang Minghou lowered his voice.
"Dad, you don't have to worry too much about the arranged marriage. I'm still young."
"Dad knows, you go back first." Xiang Minghou felt that she was too young and there were some things he didn't want her to know.
Ye Qianning twisted his small body and came down, but didn't leave.
Mr. Gu and his group also arrived at the hall.
Xiang Minghou was already upset, and he became even more upset when he saw a group of people. However, at today's birthday banquet, his resistance to these people dissipated a little.
"Regarding the emperor's arrangement for marriage, I will ask the imperial concubine to find out what the emperor thinks tomorrow," said Madam Zhan.
"Thank you, Madam." Marquis Xiang Ming nodded.
"What are you thanking me for? Fatty is my granddaughter too. As long as she gets better, we in the Zhan family are willing to do anything."
Xiang Minghou pursed his lips and did not respond.
"If the prince's marriage can be cancelled, the little girl can marry into the Gu family. We in the Gu family are not officials." It would be easy if she didn't marry into an official's family.
"If the marriage can be annulled, I also think the Gu family is feasible." Dean Chen also thought so.
Xiang Minghou frowned, thinking about something.
Qian Fu did not argue. The children of officials had noble status, but they were not free in marriage. Their Qian family had experienced this before, and now his son had repeated the same mistake, so his granddaughter could never do the same again.
"The Zhan family is not an official." Zhan Chi said.
"Destroying a family is more complicated than dealing with an official." Dean Chen shook his head.
"Gu Shuo is an imperial merchant, and in a sense, he is also an official of the imperial court."
"Tomorrow I will resign from my position as imperial merchant to the emperor." Gu Shuo said.
Mr. Gu was shocked and delighted: "Yes, it's difficult to handle an imperial job after quitting the imperial merchant."
"Master, Dad, let's not talk about the engagement for now. There is still a long time to go. There will be a way out when the time comes." Ye Qianning didn't want them to worry about it.
Judging from the way Sang Qi dislikes her, he will find a way to cancel the engagement when he grows up.
Dean Chen nodded: "There's no rush, but it would be reassuring if it was lifted as soon as possible."
"The prince may not be willing to do so. If he wants to cancel the engagement in the future, it will be much easier than for us. Let him find a way." Ye Qianning made up her mind that if Sang Qi did something in the future, she would destroy it.
If you handle the role of the vicious female supporting character well, even the emperor will regret it later.
"With his character, he's still not willing to accept it?" Old Gu was so angry that he laughed.
"...Mr. Gu, you should always be more tactful when speaking." These words were bound to cause criticism. Ye Qianning still felt a slight tremor in his heart when he thought about how Mr. Gu was not afraid of death in the court today.
"I've been being polite enough." Gu Lao snorted, and suddenly thought of something: "Why are you still calling me Gu Lao?"
Ye Qianning looked at his father.
Xiang Minghou nodded slightly. Although they parted unhappily at the Immortal Drunk Restaurant, Mr. Gu had always been very kind to Fatty. There were probably not many people in the court who could contradict the emperor and speak so boldly.
"Grandpa." After getting permission, Ye Qianning called out sweetly.
Old Gu was so excited that tears almost came out. His big hand trembled as he touched the little girl's head: "Hey, hey, hey, great, the Gu family finally has a baby girl."
Gu Shuo's heart was slightly moved, but he still didn't dare to ask the little girl to call him.
"Fatty." Madam Zhan sniffed and walked over.
Zhan Yi followed closely behind with small steps.
Ye Qianning sighed secretly. Although Zhan Chi had an arrogant temper, he was also a person with a tough mouth and a soft heart. Otherwise, if she had followed the maid from Changyang Palace that day, he would not have followed her.
The first impression is really important, but she didn't like the attitude of Xianrenzui and the others. Even though their blood was compatible, she still couldn't accept it.
But... she could feel the intentions of Madam Zhan and Master Zhan.
"Grandma, Grandpa." Out of politeness, Ye Qianning did not keep people at a distance.
"Hey, Fatty, my granddaughter." Madam Zhan was already very excited. When she heard the cry, she couldn't hold back her tears. She bent down, hugged the little girl and started crying.
Zhan Yi's eyes were also slightly red. He hadn't cried in half his life. Seeing such a scene, he couldn't help it. The key point was that he saw his wife crying loudly -
He simply squatted down, hugged the two children in his arms, and started crying.
"My wife, my granddaughter—"
Dean Chen: “…”
Mr. Gu: “…”
This kid Zhan Yi is still very moved!
Chisuke: "..."
So envious.
Xiang Minghou did not stop him. Instead, he felt a little relieved. He could not enjoy the love of his elders in the Xiang family, but they could give it to him.
We are connected by blood, so this is how it should be.
Zhan Chi's eyes also turned red. He sniffed and squatted over, "Fatty, my daughter."
“…”
Ye Qianning originally called out politely, but he didn't expect them to get out of control. He was almost out of breath when being hugged by the Zhan family.
"Get out of the way."
Zhan Yi was just feeling moved, but when he saw his son rushing towards him, he pushed him away without thinking.
"Dad?" Zhan Chi was pushed to sit on the ground.
"Don't think we will forget how you treated our granddaughter." Zhan Yi scolded, turned around and hugged the two of them, feeling moved again.
Zhan Chi felt so regretful and speechless.
Have you forgotten your son now that you have a granddaughter?
"Granddaughter, grandma will never let you suffer any grievances from now on." Madam Zhan cried and touched her chubby little face with her hands.
"Yes, go home with grandpa and grandma tomorrow. If anyone dares to touch you, grandpa and grandma will not forgive them."
Ye Qianning was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. She raised her little hand and wiped the tears from Madam Zhan's face: "Grandma, don't cry. Fatty is not suffering at all. My mother and Fourth Auntie love me very much, and my father loves me too."
